    Resolved [RESOLVED] VB.NET 2019 Trying to Install Report Viewer

    I've reviewed the other discussion here with no luck.

    I have an existing VB Windows Form app. I've confirmed that I have Microsoft Reporting Services Project and Microsoft RDLC Report Designer. I used Project - Add New Item and I'm able to add a Report or Report Wizard.

    I do not have the ReportViewer control.

    This is post # 6 from the link above:

    I just created a VB WinForms Application project in VS 2019 and installed the Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WinForms NuGet package. A 'Microsoft SQL Server' section was added to the top of the Toolbox and it contained a ReportViewer item. If that didn't happen for you, I don't know what to tell you.

    My issues is I can't install the ReportViewer control to my project using NuGet. Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WinForms is not displaying. If this helps, the Package Source in the upper right hand side says: Microsoft Office Services Offline Packages. I did try to create a new project as mentioned in post #6.

    Thanks for your help.

    Re: VB.NET 2019 Trying to Install Report Viewer

    Additional Info. At Tools-Nuget-Package Manager-Package Manager Console, I entered:
    Install-Package Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms -Version 150.1358.0 which I received from this link.

    I got this error message:
    Install-Package : Package 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms 150.1358.0' is not found in the following primary

    I looked at the folder and didn't find Microsoft.ReportingServices......

    Thanks for responding. I do have it installed and confirmed it. When I try to add it to the project, it's not finding the Microsoft Reporting Services extension.

    Re: VB.NET 2019 Trying to Install Report Viewer

    Update. Uninstalled Microsoft.Reporting.Services and RDLC Report Designer. Installed all updates to VS2019. Rebooted. Reinstalled Reporting Services (separately), then RDLC.

    Using this link, I donwloaded version 150.900.148 as suggested by ahmish. Then following this link, I entered the file name in the Package Manager Console, and I got this error:

    Code:
    PM> Install-Package C:\Users\Cathy\Downloads\microsoft.reportingservices.reportviewercontrol.winforms.150.900.148.nupkg

    I don't know why Nuget keeps pointing to 'Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages' for the package source.

    Any suggestions?

    Just a hunch. I've never used SQL Server. I just checked and I have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 installed. Could this be the reason?

    Re: VB.NET 2019 Trying to Install Report Viewer

    try and create a new project.
    in the winform then go to Tools > Nuget Package Manager > Manage Packages for Solution> search for Report Viewer winform version 150.900.148 > Click Install. try not to use package manager console or download it from a site. just install it directly from Visual Studio nuget package manager

    Re: VB.NET 2019 Trying to Install Report Viewer

    ahmish, that was my first attempt in post # 1, it wasn't there. Then I changed to Package Source source folder to c:\Downloads\ and it pops up, but it's the one that I manually downloaded in post # 8.

    I now get this:

    Unable to resolve dependency 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Types'. Source(s) used: 'Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages'.


    Which leads me to believe that I need to upgrade Sql Server or install Microsoft.SQLServer.Types. Oh, and that doesn't show up either when I use Manage Packages for Solution.

    I did search my computer and Microsoft.Report.Designer.dll is present in Program Files x(86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common 7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\Rdlc.

    Re: VB.NET 2019 Trying to Install Report Viewer

    Here is a very happy update! All of the examples I saw on the internet showed nugent.org as the Package Source. So, I brought up my rarely used Visual Studio 2013 and found two other sources listed that were not on my 2019. I found:

    nugent.org at https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/
    and
    Microsoft and .NET at https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/curated...crosoftdotnet/.

    I added these to my package sources. I did find and installed Microsoft.SqlServer.Types which should resolve my server issues and I have
    found the Microsoft Reporting Services Report view Control winforms, which I am going to install now.

    Re: VB.NET 2019 Trying to Install Report Viewer

    The only issue I have remaining is that the older version of microsoft.reportingservices.reportviewercontrol.winforms.150.900.148 is not showing up on the list. From what I can see, I can directly download it from the Nugent website. Only the current version, the corrected version show up and neither one is putting the ReportViewer control on the form itself. The only ReportViewer control I see is in the Microsoft SQL Server group. The Reporting group of tools is not displaying.

    Re: VB.NET 2019 Trying to Install Report Viewer

    I'm marking this resolved! Now it's time to create a report!

    The issue that John mentioned in the other thread about the invalid cast, happened and his fix worked.

    Thanks. I need lotsa chocolate!
